Newcastle's Utilita Arena will host one of the most anticipated British title fights in recent years as Darlington's Troy Williamson takes on Sunderland-born Josh Kelly. The fight is set to take place on on Friday December 2, live on Channel 5.
The pair will go toe-to-toe for the British Super Welterweight Championship - Williamson having defended the British Light-Middleweight title last time out against Mason Cartwright with a unanimous decision win. The 31-year-old surprised the division by winning the belt against Ted Cheeseman back in October 2021.
Kelly is looking to establish himself once more having beaten Lucas Bastida for the vacant WBO International super welterweight title. The Sunderland fan admits the defeat to David Avanesyan saw him bury some demons, but has won his last two bouts on his return to the ring.
